These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, offering a rich peanut flavor and a tender texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid shell fragments.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set properly.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
